About pollen in Yakima
Grass is the only pollen type active in Yakima today, and it remains at a low level. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to grass pollen may notice mild symptoms, particularly in open or recently mowed areas. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next several days, so no significant changes are on the horizon. This is consistent with the season, as grasses typically produce pollen through early summer in the Yakima Valley, while the region's tree pollen, from species like alder, birch, and cottonwood, has largely wound down after its spring peak. Weed pollen, including sagebrush and ragweed common to the area, tends to pick up later in the summer and into fall.
