How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to file with local authorities and community networks in Selah.
We route it to the right places

Where to report in Selah
Official channels and how to reach them
Selah Police Department
The Police Department handles lost property reports and maintains a lost and found. For non-emergencies, call the main office. We tell you which department to contact and generate the exact information to include in your report.
City Hall
City Hall at 115 West Naches Avenue is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Staff can direct you to the right department or office based on where your loss occurred. We connect you with the right contact.
Selah Transit
If you left something on a Selah Transit bus, call Customer Service with your route number and the time you were traveling. They'll check the vehicle and hold found items for a period of time. We help you provide all the details needed.
Lost or Found Pet
If your dog or cat is missing, contact the City Animal Control Officer immediately. They maintain the City Kennel and can check if a pet has been brought in. For broader community reach, file a priority lost pet report.

Don't wait to report
The sooner your loss is in the system, the sooner it can match with a found item. Once you've reported, our team keeps the search active in the background while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or anything else in Selah means contacting multiple offices, social media groups, and the local bus service separately. Each one has different hours, different processes, and no shared database. By the time you've called them all, days have passed.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we notify the Selah Police Department, City Hall, Selah Transit, and community channels for you. Then your report stays active, scanning for matches continuously throughout your search window, so you can move forward knowing the hunt is already underway.
