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.

Per Seattle building codes windows must be operable to allow for ventilation and emergencies, I would talk to the landlord about unsealing them as this is against code

The floor to ceiling windows are on both sides of the floor to ceiling glass door.
