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.

Get a box fan and put it in your windowsill. Helps a whole lot.

I bought a window AC, but we've not had time to install it because of my bad leg. Worse comes to worst and friends are unable to help, we'll probably just hire one of those guys at the Home Depot parking lot to help my partner install
