Pollen in Kirkland, WA

About pollen in Kirkland

Pollen levels in Kirkland are quiet today, with tree pollen sitting at essentially none. Anyone sensitive to airborne allergens should find little to react to outdoors right now, making it a comfortable day for those who usually deal with springtime tree pollen from sources like maple, hawthorn, or holly. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to stay at this low level through the next several days, offering a steady break for allergy sufffers. This tracks with the season, since local trees such as cherry, hawthorn, holly, and hornbeam typically finish their pollen release well before midsummer. With grass season winding down and ragweed not yet a factor in this region, the coming days should remain generally calm for those sensitive to airborne pollen.
