Where to Report a Lost Item
Local channels and what each one covers
Union Gap Police Department
The city's primary lost and found authority. They accept reports for lost personal items and can connect you with found items held in their custody. We generate the right details for your report and tell you which precinct or desk to contact.
Lost Pet Report (if it's a dog or cat)
If you've lost a pet, the Yakima Humane Society and local lost dog networks should be your first call. They maintain a stray intake list and connect with community volunteers. We'll help you file a priority lost pet report and ensure it reaches the right animal welfare channels.
