Low Pollen in Kirkland, WA

About pollen in Kirkland

Grass pollen is the main driver in Kirkland today, sitting at a Low level (index 2) and edging ahead of tree pollen, which has dropped to Very Low (index 1). Among the local allergenic trees—Oak, Clerodendrum, Aesculus, Thuja, and Honeylocust—activity is minimal now that the spring tree peak has passed. The forecast keeps tree counts flat at Very Low over the next few days, while grass holds in the Low range, dipping briefly before nudging back up. Late June falls within the typical late-spring-to-early-summer window when grasses take over from trees as the dominant source. Overall conditions remain Low (index 2), so the day reads as a quiet one for sensitive residents.
