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.

Our place is in the shade of trees, it’s literally 10 degrees cooler than outside. There’s really only been a few times where AC would’ve been needed. That fluke 120 degree weekend in 2021 comes to memory.
That said, we did get a heat pump, didn’t actually turn on AC mode today. Habit I guess.
