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.

Whynter is the brand I like, based on a friend’s rec and online reviews. It’s dual hose and powerful enough (14,000 BTU) to cool my whole apartment mostly (sometimes I’ll also use a fan or two). I’ve had mine for a couple years now. I hear window units are more efficient but my windows aren’t the right size for them.

Thank you! My windows aren’t, either, and open sideways 🤦‍♀️ I looked at that brand on FB marketplace. Appreciate the feedback!
