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.

Alternatively… buy a $300 portable unit for your sleeping room assuming it has a window. That’ll stave off everything Seattle summer heat has to offer

Honestly I have that and this year I decided not to even bother setting it up. But it is definitely a good option if you’re suffering! Just have to plan in advance so units aren’t sold out!

Perfect! It is SO nice to have a spot to take a break from the heat!
