Yakima's pollen season opens with cottonwood and sage from late February, followed by ash through March and April. Grass pollen peaks strongly through May and June in the surrounding Yakima Valley agricultural landscape, one of the most productive fruit and hop growing regions in the US. The enclosed valley setting concentrates pollen under prevailing westerly winds, while the semi-arid climate means fewer rainfall interruptions than on the Pacific coast.

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

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 Yakima, 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.
