How ReportLost Works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right authorities and community groups in the Parkland area.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Pierce County Sheriff's Office (Parkland-Spanaway Services), Pierce Transit (if applicable), and relevant local social channels. No back-and-forth calls for you.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report remains active and automatically checks new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community announcements. You receive an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to refresh Facebook groups or check bulletin boards yourself.

How long does the Pierce County Sheriff's Office keep lost items?

Report your loss as soon as possible, and check with the non-emergency line at (253) 287-4455 for specifics. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so even if an item is recovered later, it can still be matched to you.

The Airport Lost and Found is on the Baggage Claim Level. Call (206) 787-5312 (open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily) or check their online form. Sea-Tac holds items for a limited time, so urgency is important here. ReportLost can help you document the loss and ensure the airport has your contact details.
Should I post on Facebook and Nextdoor myself if I use ReportLost?
Yes, you can post directly as well, but ReportLost ensures your report reaches the right official channels and stays active in the background. By filing once with ReportLost, you avoid the task of re-posting across multiple platforms every week. The more channels aware of your loss, the better your odds.

Contact the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County (253-383-2733) or Metro Animal Services (253-299-7387) immediately to file an in-person lost pet report. Walk your neighborhood, post flyers, and check with local vets and shelters daily in the first week. ReportLost's priority lost pet report amplifies your search and keeps your pet's details active across our network for months.
Is ReportLost.org an official agency?
No, ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the Pierce County Sheriff's Office or any government body. We are a separate organization that simplifies the process of notifying the right local agencies and keeping your report active. We work with official channels like the Sheriff's Office and Pierce Transit but do not replace them. You are not required to use ReportLost, but we save you time and ensure your loss stays in active circulation for months.
