Kennewick's parks, including Columbia Park and the Columbia River corridor, feature cottonwood, ash, and sage as the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between the riverside green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding eastern Washington farmland and the semi-arid shrub-steppe landscape contribute substantial grass and sagebrush pollen that disperses widely across the Tri-Cities area under prevailing westerly winds.

Does pollen in Kennewick come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Kennewick based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Kennewick, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
