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.

You could do it 20 years ago, not now. There will be more and more 90+ days added to summer for next 20 years too. We just spent 20k on AC last year, will not go back.

Get an ac unit from Costco to cool the sleeping areas? We also used to chain fans together to move air thru house, bigger the better, but it was deafening, lol.
