Sammamish's Puget Sound suburban plateau setting features Douglas fir, alder, and bigleaf maple as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between the extensively forested plateau residential areas and the more built-up commercial corridors along 228th Avenue. The Sammamish River corridor and Evans Creek provide locally significant green space, while the elevated plateau setting means Douglas fir contributes more substantially to local pollen than in lower-elevation Puget Sound cities.

Grass from surrounding Pacific Northwest land peaks through June and July before mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September. The wet Pacific oceanic climate provides very frequent rainfall interruptions, making Sammamish one of the more interrupted pollen seasons in the US throughout.
How often is the Sammamish pollen forecast updated?

The Sammamish pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Sammamish 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 Sammamish 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 Sammamish, 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.
