Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Bellingham are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Bellingham in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hamsters in Bellingham near Boulevard Park

Last Tuesday at about 7:20 p.m., I was walking near Boulevard Park when my two hamsters darted from their cage and vanished into the bushes. They’re tiny—one is golden tan and the other white with a black stripe—and I’m afraid they’ve tucked themselves into Whatcom Falls Park or the Fairhaven area. I’m worried and I’ve been backtracking the routes I took, calling out to them with their squeaky little noises in my mind. If you see them, please help me keep an eye out and let me know through the site.

LOST terrariums near Cornwall Ave, Bellingham.

I was walking back from the farmers market around 6:00 PM last Tuesday along Cornwall Avenue when I realized my terrariums were no longer in my bag. They are two small glass jars with tiny air plants, one with a handwritten label; they remind me of my grandmother's greenhouse and I keep them to feel close to her. I am hopeful someone picked them up and will return them through this site. If you see them, please help a grateful plant person get them back.

Lost travel visas in Bellingham

I was walking along Cornwall Avenue by the Fairhaven Village Green in Bellingham at 8:15 a.m. on Monday when I realized my travel visas had vanished from a thin leather folder in my backpack. The folder is thin and light brown, with a red elastic band and a sticker peeling off the corner. These documents are essential for an upcoming trip, and I’m desperate to have them back. If anyone found something like that around Fairhaven, I hope you’ll help by letting me know here.

Lost travel adapters in Bellingham, WA

Last Tuesday around 3:10 PM, I was outside the Bellingham Public Library on Bay Street, sorting through a map on my phone. I stepped into a nearby café for a quick break and when I came back, my travel adapters were gone from a small zipper pouch in my backpack. They’re a compact gray set, with one unit having a blue tip and another with a removable plug. They’re essential for an upcoming conference, and I’m hoping someone who found them along the library steps or nearby on Bay Street will bring them back.

Lost holiday decorations near Boulevard Park

I lost my holiday decorations outside my apartment in Bellingham around 4:50 p.m. today, while bringing a tote bag of garlands and ornaments back inside past Boulevard Park's waterfront. The bag was red with pinecone motifs and included a string of warm-white fairy lights and a lighthouse ornament I bought during last year’s trip to Friday Harbor. These decorations carry family memories and mark the start of our winter traditions. I’m hoping they turned up nearby—the Boulevard Park shoreline, or along the pedestrian path by the marina—so I can bring the light back to our home.

Lost appliances after move in downtown Bellingham

I lost my appliances after moving. On Saturday, around 2:15 PM, I was packing up near the Mount Baker Theatre in downtown Bellingham and noticed my small appliances were missing from the back of my SUV. I rely on these pieces every day—my blender, coffee grinder, and a compact toaster oven—and losing them after a long day feels defeating. The apartment feels quieter without that familiar morning hum. If you saw a bundle of kitchen gadgets around the Mount Baker Theatre area, please keep an eye out for them in the lost-and-found.
