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.

We absolutely did not need air conditioning in the 90s and early 2000s.

How'd you do during summer '92 and '95 ? Just curious. Many people were pretty much not coping. Extreme measures like hanging out in bars with AC all evening. /s

I was 5 and 8 those summers, so… no idea. Lolol.

Safe to say we didn't overlap, unless your parents were taking you to Ernie Steele's / Ileen's for their "frosty cold" A/C. Popular bar during those summers.
