Navy parka with fur hood, lost near Mount Vernon
Description
I'm hoping someone found my navy parka—it's a North Face, men's large, navy blue, with a removable faux-fur hood and a slightly snagged left cuff. I wore it yesterday around 3pm, outside the Lincoln Theatre on First Street in Mount Vernon, Skagit County, right after the farmer's market area. It's a 650-fill down jacket, waterproof shell, with a dented silver zipper. Inside pocket there's a lime-green stitch along the seam and a small coffee stain on the inner liner. There's also a tiny snag near the left sleeve cuff, visible up close. It's sentimental because it was a gift from my aunt, and I really need it back.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting

Meet in a safe, public place

- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you

- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
