Find a Towed Car
To locate a towed car, first determine whether it was towed from a public street or from private property. Then contact the appropriate company to retrieve your impounded vehicle.
Towed from a public street
If your car was towed from a Seattle street, call Lincoln Towing at (206) 364-2000. The City of Seattle contracts with Lincoln Towing to provide services for police-authorized impounds. Or use the Lincoln Towing website to do a Seattle impound vehicle search.
Towed from private property
If your car was towed from a private parking lot:
- Find the posted signs showing the tow company phone number.
- Call the towing company that regulates the lot.
Or contact the owner of the property and ask about towing. If you still cannot locate your vehicle, call the Seattle Police Department non-emergency number at (206) 625-5011.
