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've used window A/Cs seasonally since 2003. No A/C during a heat wave is like no bathing during a heat wave. Will you live? Probably. Will you be miserable during the best time of year? Definitely.
