Pollen count La Center residents check each morning
The La Center pollen count today is 11 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 13 today. That total sits on a narrow base: weed pollen is 13 while tree pollen is just 6 and grass pollen 0.6. Plant-by-plant detail for La Center, WA follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
A Low band on the Pollen Atlas index means the Total Pollen Index has stayed in the lower part of the 0–100 scale. Readings in this band are built from low individual category values rather than from one large spike, and the category split above matters more than the headline number: a low total can still contain one category, such as weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every La Center page.
In the Pacific Northwest, the main outdoor pollen activity is concentrated in spring and early summer — trees first, then grasses — and readings outside that window are commonly low across every category. Cool-season pages in this region are therefore often defined by what is absent: zero or near-zero tree and grass values, with any remaining total carried by small weed or mold readings. That quiet pattern is itself useful information, and it is reported here exactly as modelled.

Pollen by type in La Center
What is driving La Center’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 11 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 13 (Low on its own scale) — about 66% of the four category readings added together, 7 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 6. A weed-led total is the classic late-year shape: tree and grass pollen have usually receded, leaving weed pollen — and on damp days mold — to make up most of what the index records. Weed pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Washington weed chapter runs August to September — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.
Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for La Center, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Washington guide’s account of Washington names alder and hazelnut from January on the west side, and timothy and sagebrush on Spokane’s continental clock — the pollens behind readings of this shape in this state — and the split shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 7 to 16, never changing band. Today’s 11 sits 0 points below the window’s average of 11.4 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

La Center pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the La Center pollen year runs like this:
- Alder and hazelnut can start in January west of the Cascades, with maple and oak following through April and May.
- Grasses run from May, peaking in late spring and early summer.
- Weeds are the minor act — sagebrush and tumbleweed east of the Cascades carry into September.
- Mold is the wet-season constant west of the Cascades, where rain crashes counts and the season restarts on the first dry, mild day.
The Washington allergy season guide names alder and hazelnut from January on the west side, and timothy and sagebrush on Spokane’s continental clock. Washington’s pollen season now starts about 20 days earlier and lasts almost a month longer than 30 years ago, according to the state Department of Health. UW Medicine specialists put the start of Seattle’s tree pollen season at around mid-February in a typical year.
November falls between the main chapters of the Washington pollen year — the tail of one and the approach of the next — so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. Between them, the three chapters cover 9 months of the Washington year, January to September — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Washington allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the La Center pollen count on a Total Pollen Index from 0 to 100, built from separate tree, grass and weed readings. The total is a summary, not an average of the three: a single strong category can lift it, and three quiet categories can hold it down whatever the month. Index values are a modelled pollen risk index computed by Pollen Atlas from open weather, vegetation and phenology data, calibrated against CDC/NAB season data, with plant detail by the Google Pollen API. The index is a modelled 0–100 scale, not a measured count, and figures update through the day, so a morning and an evening visit to this page can legitimately show different numbers.
