How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include as much detail as you remember, like color, brand, or distinguishing marks. We'll gather the exact info needed to file with the right channels.
We get it to the right places
We notify the Washougal Police Department, West Columbia Gorge Humane Society (if it's a pet), C-Tran, and post to relevant local community groups, so your loss reaches the people most likely to find it.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found item posts, community alerts, and local resales. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day yourself.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Washougal means contacting the police, checking with transit, posting on Facebook, and then checking back daily to see if it turns up. It's time-consuming, and if you miss a post or forget to follow up, your chances drop fast. Different services hold items for different lengths of time, and without a coordinated report, the information gets fragmented.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. You file once, we route your report to the Washougal Police Department, animal services, C-Tran, and community channels that matter. Then your report stays active for 12 months, automatically looking for matches with newly found items and posts. You can step back and let the system work, confident that your loss is still being searched.
