Found medication on Eureka sidewalk
This morning around 9:15 am I found a bottle of medication on the sidewalk outside Old Town Eureka, near the Boardwalk at the corner of 2nd and G Streets. It’s a brown glass bottle with a blue cap and a white label, but the label is partly peeled. I know someone out there needs this back, and I kept it safe and out of sight while we figure out the owner. I’m hoping the rightful owner will see this listing and reach out through the site.
Found Holiday Decorations in Humboldt County
Hi, I'm Sofia Patel. I found these holiday decorations this morning around 9:15 AM along the sidewalk by the Humboldt Bay waterfront near Old Town Eureka. It’s a tangled mix—twinkling multicolored lights, a glittery star, and a small ceramic Santa. I scanned the area and asked a few pedestrians, but no one claimed them and the crowd moved on before the sun got higher. They look like they belong to someone who loves the season, and I’d feel better knowing they’re back with their owner.
FOUND: Sculptures in Humboldt County
I found these sculptures behind a vendor tent near Arcata Plaza around 6:45 PM on Friday. The pieces are metal, about two to three feet tall, with a rust-orange patina and glass accents that caught the streetlights. I was walking from the Redwood National and State Parks entrance toward the plaza when I spotted them tucked behind a crate at the edge of the sidewalk. They felt personal—like a small, private collection someone might miss after a pop-up show. I moved them to a sheltered bench nearby and waited a moment, hoping the owner would see this listing.
Found violin near Arcata Plaza
I was wandering along the Eureka waterfront around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday when I spotted a violin case tucked behind a bench near the Arcata Plaza. The varnish looked a little dull from the mist, and the bow was still in its sleeve. I picked it up and checked inside, but there was no name. I'm posting here in case someone high and dry has lost a cherished instrument, and I hope to help reunite it with its owner.
LOST: Hats in Humboldt County
Hello, I am Noah Kim. I was at Arcata Plaza around 3:30 PM yesterday, browsing the weekend market with my two felt hats, one charcoal gray and one tan with a feather in the band, tucked into the back pocket of my jacket. A gust rolled up from Humboldt Bay and knocked them from the bench, and by the time I turned back they were gone. These hats are not just clothing; they are travel memories and a little luck I carry with me on road trips up the redwoods. If you spotted them around Arcata Plaza or near the Humboldt County Library, please keep them safe.
Pins lost in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County
I LOST my enamel pins. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka around 3:15 p.m. last Sunday when my pins slipped from my denim jacket and vanished into the crowd. The set includes a lighthouse pin and a Humboldt map pin—tiny reminders of our North Coast road trip. I have walked the sidewalks from the Carson Mansion to the plaza, checked the market stalls twice, and asked nearby shop staff, but they are gone. Those pins mean a lot to me, and I am hoping they are simply misplaced somewhere nearby. If anyone found them, please leave a note on the site.

Found flute near Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County
I was walking around Arcata Plaza last Saturday around 3:15 PM when I spotted a silver flute resting on a bench near the gazebo. The case was a touch scuffed, and the lip plate had faint initials carved into it, like J.S. I picked it up carefully, checked for any obvious personal notes, and carried it to the Humboldt County Library’s lost-and-found desk so it could be reunited with its owner. I’m posting this in hopes the rightful owner sees it and recognizes the markings and that worn case. It felt like a small, hopeful moment in a busy day.
Found photographs near Arcata Plaza, Humboldt County.
I found these photographs on Thursday, around 4:15 PM, tucked beneath a bench at the Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County. They look like a personal collection—an old portrait, a seaside shot, and a map with handwritten notes. I sat with them for a moment, feeling a tug of curiosity and responsibility, like I was holding a window into someone’s memories. I kept them safe, not wanting them to blow away in the coastal breeze, and I hope the owner recognizes them and is glad they’re not lost anymore.
Found toasters in Humboldt County, California
This morning around 9:15 a.m. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka and spotted two toasters resting on a bench outside a cafe on 2nd Street. They were clean and looked recently unused, with a little crumb of coffee still in the air. I figured someone must be missing them, so I picked them up and brought them here. If these belong to you, please reply through the site so we can arrange a proper return.
Lost: Equipment for Various Sports
On Sunday at 3:15 p.m., I left Arcata Community Park near the I Street entrance after a casual pickup game and realized I’d forgotten my equipment bag by the bleachers. It carries gear for various sports—a soccer ball, a tennis racket, knee pads, and a worn backpack with a cracked zipper. The redwoods rustled above as I hiked back, shoulders heavy with disappointment and stubborn hope that someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you saw a bag by the basketball courts or the parking area, please give a thought to the person who relies on it for weekend games.
Lost sheet music after rehearsal, Arcata Plaza at 7:15 PM
I was finishing a quick practice at a small studio near Arcata Plaza around 7:15 PM on Tuesday, and I must have left my sheet music on the bench. I realized it was missing once I got home to Eureka and realized I couldn't find the pieces I need for Saturday's recital. The music is in a green binder with a few pencil markings from last Friday's run-through. If you found it near the Arcata Plaza fountain after sunset, please let me know — losing it feels like losing a part of myself and my chance to perform.
Black Ray-Ban style sunglasses; initials engraved on temple
I found a pair of black Ray-Ban style sunglasses this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Carson Mansion in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County. They’re in decent shape, black plastic frames with a medium fit, and the lenses have a small scratch near the left corner. There’s a tiny engraving 'AK' on the inside of the right temple that could help verify ownership. I picked them up because I figured someone might be looking for them and they looked recently worn but cared for. If these belong to you, DM me with the brand and the engraving, plus when you last wore them.
Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED near Arcata Plaza in Arcata, Humboldt County, after I stopped by the Arcata Transit Center. It’s in a light gray carrying case with neon blue and red Joy-Cons; the screen protector is peeling a bit at the bottom, and there’s a small crack on the edge. A distinctive feature is an orange silicone grip on the left Joy-Con and a tiny whale sticker on the back of the dock. It’s been a rough day—this device is how I unwind after long shifts, so I’d really appreciate finding it.
Navy blue travel neck pillow with JetSet logo
I found a navy blue travel neck pillow this morning around 11am in the parking lot behind the Samoa Cookhouse on Main Street in Samoa, Humboldt County. It's a standard travel size with a soft microfiber cover. There’s a small white JetSet logo on the side, plus a faint red coffee ring near the seam and a tiny red stitching heart on the inner edge. The fabric is a little pilled from use, but it’s still comfy and clearly loved by a traveler. If this belongs to you, I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner.
