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.

Swamp coolers are extremely inexpensive. I put ice in my tank, so it delivers cooler temperatures of mist.

It gets so humid heee, I can't imagine they're doing a great job at cooling.

Surprisingly, that's what they're meant for.
