Seattle Arboretum & Washington Park features the Washington Park Arboretum's exceptional collection of trees from around the world as an unusually diverse pollen source, with oak, linden, and Japanese cherries among the main contributors alongside native alder and birch. The Lake Washington Ship Canal proximity moderates local conditions, while alder peaks strongly through March and April, grass peaks through June and July, and mugwort extends into September throughout this celebrated Seattle botanical arboretum.

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.

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 Seattle, 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.
