Low Pollen in Vancouver, WA

About pollen in Vancouver

Grass pollen is the main story in Vancouver today, sitting at a low level that most people won't notice much, though those with sensitivities may feel a mild effect. Tree pollen is quiet right now, so overall conditions are fairly comfortable for spending time outdoors. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next several days, meaning little day-to-day change is anticipated. Tree pollen should remain absent for now, which fits the season, as trees like pine, styrax, and dogwood typically finish their pollen release earlier in the year. With summer underway, grass will likely continue as the pollen type to watch in the near term.
