Report my lost item →West Richland's a community where people lose wallets at the coffee shop downtown, rings on hiking trails, and pets slip out of gates on Van Giesen Street. When it happens, the sources are scattered: you're calling the police non-emergency line, checking Link Transit, scrolling through Facebook groups, contacting Animal Control. Each one is separate; none of them talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report with us, and we route the details to the West Richland Police Department, Animal Control, transit lost and found, and the Tri-Cities community groups where locals actually report finds. Once your report is live, it keeps working for you for months, automatically cross-checking new posts and listings so you're not refreshing Facebook every morning. Think of us as the central switchboard that connects all those channels at once.
