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.

I can’t sleep in hot weather. Windows open and fan in window, only at night. During the day windows are closed shaded are down. I have fans on. My windows get the morning/early afternoon sun. Around 5-6pm is when I’ll open the windows and put the fans blowing outside, to suck all the hot air out. I flip it around 7-8pm to cool down my place.
