How ReportLost Works in Yakima
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed for police and local services in one place, so you don't have to fill out multiple forms.
We connect it to the right channels
Your report goes directly to the Yakima Police Department's lost property system, Yakima Transit, Yakima Airport, and relevant local community groups. You get confirmation of where it's been filed.
Automated monitoring finds matches
Our system scans Craigslist, Facebook groups (Lost & Found in Yakima Valley, Yakima's Lost & Found Dogs), Reddit, PawBoost, and other local channels every few days. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. No more endless manual searching.
Where to Report & What ReportLost Does
Below are the official channels in Yakima. ReportLost submits and monitors them all for you.
Yakima Police Department
The police department accepts lost property reports online 24/7 or by phone during business hours. We identify which precinct handles your location and file the exact details needed.
Yakima Transit
Left something on a bus? Call the Transit information office with the route number and date. We generate the exact information and call on your behalf, and follow up on your behalf if needed.
Yakima Airport (YKM)
Lost something at the terminal or on a plane? Yakima Airport has a dedicated lost-and-found line. We contact them with your item details and check for matches regularly.
City Hall & General Services
For items lost in city buildings or public spaces, City of Yakima can help. We know the right departments to contact and what info to provide.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Yakima, the Yakima Humane Society and Animal Control are your first contacts. They keep registries of found pets. We alert both immediately and monitor local pet recovery networks. For a comprehensive pet-focused search, file a priority lost pet report.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better.
In Yakima, items left on transit or found in public places are typically held for a set period before being disposed of. Getting your report in today means police, transit, and local groups start looking right away. Once filed, you can relax – our monitoring runs in the background while you go about your week.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Yakima means navigating separate reporting channels: the police department, Yakima Transit if it was on a bus, the airport if you were traveling, community Facebook groups, and local online marketplaces. Each has its own form, phone line, and recovery timeline. ReportLost bundles all of that into a single report and keeps watch on your behalf.
Once you file with us, our team alerts the right local authorities and monitors the web automatically for months. Instead of checking Yakima's Lost & Found in Yakima Valley Facebook group and Craigslist daily, you get notified the moment someone posts a matching found item. We do the legwork so you can focus on your day.
