Abandoned After The Altar? Renton Police Seek Bride After Dress Found In Abandoned House

RENTON, WA - Somewhere out there, a bride is missing her wedding dress.

Renton police recently found a wedding dress while searching an abandoned home, and they're hoping to return the garment back to its owner.

The home is located along the 900 block of Harrington Avenue Northeast, about one block south of Sunset Boulevard Northeast. The department is holding the dress in its evidence locker room for safe keeping.

Wedding dresses - for a variety of reasons - sometimes end up lost. In 2012, a Des Moines, Iowa, bartender uncovered a dress that a customer found in a box on the street. Julie White posted a Craigslist ad about the find, and was actually able to track down its owner.

Even more amazingly, a woman recently found her mother's wedding dress while she was walking by an antique store in Grand Junction, Colo. The dress had been missing for 12 years, and the woman's mother had died in 2013.

If this is your dress - or you know whose dress it is - contact Officer Tim Cumming at 425-430-7500, or by email at tcumming@rentonwa.gov.
