Lost flutes after island rehearsal, Friday Harbor

On Friday around 7:02 p.m., after a small rehearsal with the island youth orchestra by Friday Harbor, I realized my two silver flutes were missing from my case. I’d stepped out onto Front Street for a quick breath when I must have dropped them by the Friday Harbor Public Library steps or near the harbor walkway. They’re both silver, with a few scratches, and one has a tiny pink tape mark that I use to tell them apart. I’ve played these since I was a kid; they’re irreplaceable for me, and I’m hoping someone honest found them and kept them safe.

Lost: gray cargo pants at Friday Harbor ferry terminal

I was on Market Street near the Friday Harbor Ferry Terminal at 6:45 PM last Thursday when I realized my gray cargo pants were missing. They’re the old pair with a small tear at the left knee and a zip pocket on the right hip, the ones I wear for work. I’d sat on a bench outside the market while tying my shoes, and when I stood up I didn’t notice they’d slipped off. I checked the path from the coffee stand to the bus stop, asked a couple locals, but nothing turned up. I’m stubborn about these pants; they’re comfortable and practical for late shifts on the water, and I’d love to have them back.

Lost handheld & console near Anacortes Ferry Terminal

I’m Mia Johnson, and I lost my handheld and a console around 4:15 PM Tuesday at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. I had just left a family gathering on Fidalgo Island and was loading bags into my car when the devices slipped from my backpack as I turned toward the stairs. The handheld is a compact black unit, and the console has a blue shell with a cracked screen. I’ve retraced the benches and the cafe stalls along the terminal, but I couldn’t find them. They matter a lot to me for work and for winding down on trips, and I’m hopeful someone honest picked them up.

Lost sculptures near Guemes ferry dock

I lost my sculptures Sunday night around 7:30 p.m., near the Guemes Island ferry dock, after a quick chat with a neighbor at the Anacortes marina. They were three small pieces, about 12 inches tall, built from driftwood and brass, with sea motifs. I kept them in a blue tote in the back seat of my pickup, and by the time I looked again they were gone. These pieces carry a lot of memory: one was a gift from my grandmother who loved the coast, another is a family keepsake from a summer trip to the islands. The thought of them sitting somewhere unloved makes my stomach ache; I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe until I can get back to them.

lost: brooches in Friday Harbor, WA

I lost my brooches around 11:00 a.m. last Saturday at the Friday Harbor Market on Front Street in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington. They were a pair my grandmother wore often - a silver dragonfly with blue enamel and a small pearl-accent bloom. I was helping set up a small booth when they vanished from the display case, and my heart sank. If you found them anywhere near Friday Harbor Market, Main Street, or the ferry terminal, please drop a note through the site so I can bring them home.

Lost adapters near Anacortes ferry terminal WA

Hi there, I misplaced my USB-C and micro-USB adapters while catching the 6:30 PM ferry at the Anacortes terminal last Friday. They are small and black, one with a blue label on the micro-USB. I remember tucking them into a side pocket of my backpack near the information kiosk, and a gust of wind might have swept them away. If anyone found them, they are the only adapters I own for my work laptop, so they are hard to replace on short notice. Please drop a note through the site if you have seen them.
