About pollen in Yakima
Weed pollen is the only type active in Yakima today, and levels are low. Most people should get through the day without much irritation, though those who are especially sensitive to weeds like sagebrush or ragweed may notice mild symptoms, particularly if spending extended time outdoors. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this low level through the next several days, with no significant swings anticipated. This fits the typical pattern for late September in the Yakima Valley, as summer's weed pollen season winds down. Tree pollen from local varieties such as alder, birch, and cottonwood remains dormant this time of year and won't return in force until spring, while grass pollen has also largely finished its run for the season.
