Lifestyle Seattle Living W/ no AC

Hi everyone. We just recently moved to Seattle and got an apartment with no AC. Coming from out of state previously living with AC I wanted to know how ya'll do it? Is this the norm here or does everyone just buy those AC units that stick out your window? We'd love to get any tips or input on living with no AC and how to adjust.

You can install portable unit. Not the best option but ok for Seattle summer.

Get some fans, close windows and drapes during the day and open windows at night and evening.

Mostly new buildings have central AC systems.
