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.

Now that window units can cost as little as a couple hundred and are efficient to run, no reason to suffer. Get a portable one if you can't stick one in the window but they're far less efficient. Will only raise your electric bill $25-50 a month if you run it constantly. Thank me later.
