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 Seattle-Tacoma 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 Seattle-Tacoma in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost drones near Seattle-Tacoma area

I lost my Drones after a quick, windy test flight on Tuesday around 7:15 p.m. at Gas Works Park on the northwest shore of Lake Union in Seattle. I was packing up after a sunset shot when the drone's case slipped from my tether and vanished into the trees. The last sighting was near the hill by the old water tower, with the drone's red LED blinking faintly in the fading light. My hands are empty and my heart heavy because this kit was a gift and held a lot of last-minute footage I can't replace. If anyone found it, please know it's more than metal and screws to me.

Lost radios near Tacoma Dome, Seattle-Tacoma area

I realized around 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday that my two handheld radios were gone after leaving a concert area in the Seattle-Tacoma corridor. They’re compact and black, with a small display; one has a bright orange strap so they’re easy to spot. I remember standing by the Market Street entrance after the show and moving toward the bus stop near 6th Ave, then realizing what I’d lost. These radios were my backup for weekend hikes and volunteer gigs, so I’m hoping they’ve turned up somewhere nearby.

Gray Cabeau travel neck pillow with blue initials

I lost my gray Cabeau Evolution neck pillow yesterday around 3pm. It's the memory-foam travel pillow I always carry, about 11 inches tall, with a black adjustable strap and a small red zip pocket on the underside. The outer cover has blue initials 'PP' stitched near the edge, and there's a faint coffee stain on the underside from a flight. I left it on a bench outside Nordstrom on Pine Street near Westlake Center while grabbing a quick coffee, and I’ve been back to check the area since. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me for my first big trip—and I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Missing teen with red backpack near Pike Place Market

I lost my 15-year-old daughter, Aanya Singh, yesterday around 7:45 pm after we were separated near Pike Place Market. She was wearing a bright red hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers, and she has shoulder-length black hair. She also has a small moon tattoo on the inside of her right wrist and was carrying a blue backpack with a silver star zipper pull. We were by the gum wall near the market entrance when I last saw her; I called her name, but she disappeared into the crowd. I’m really worried—this isn’t like her. If anyone spots her, please text or call me right away; I just want her back safe.

Lost dwarf hamster with blue harness

I lost my dwarf hamster, Niko, yesterday around 3pm. He's a tiny brown-and-white guy, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a white crescent patch on his forehead and a light blue nylon harness with a small silver bell. He slipped out during a quick cage swap near the Westlake Center area, and I think he vanished into the shrubs around Pike Place Market. He's gentle but will dart if startled, and this little furball is a gift from my sister—really sentimental to me. If you spot him, text me and I’ll come right over.

Penguin Classics '1984' navy hardcover—lost near Pike Place Market

Lost my navy blue Penguin Classics hardcover of 1984 yesterday around 3pm near Pike Place Market. This edition has gold lettering on the spine and a red ribbon bookmark that sticks out a little. There's a light coffee stain on the inside back cover and a small dog-ear on page 157 from studying for finals, plus a bright sticky note tucked between pages 72-73 that says 'For exam'. It was a gift from my late aunt and has serious sentimental value, so I’d really like to get it back. If you found it around Market-front stairs or near the Post Alley entrance, message me here.
