Pollen in Kirkland, WA

About pollen in Kirkland

Kirkland's air is largely free of pollen today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially nothing. If you typically react to oak or other early-season trees, today should offer a break, and overall conditions are calm for anyone with seasonal sensitivities. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay quiet over the next several days, so little change is likely in the near term. This tracks with the time of year: the main tree pollen push from species like oak, cherry and hawthorn relatives, hornbeam, and holly typically wraps up earlier in the season, and by midsummer those sources have largely tapered off. With grasses moving past their peak and ragweed season still weeks away, this is a comparatively easy stretch for pollen in the area.
