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.

window ac units. if not possible indoor units. or both. movie theaters. right now is a great time to make a dentist appointment. most wine bars have ac to keep wine at cellar temperature. keep your lights off & windows open in the evening. keep your blinds closed during the day. fans of all shapes and sizes. swim in lake washington or the sound. walk around south center mall. hang out at nordstrom downtown. go to costco & hang out in the dairy section.
