I've been in Seattle the last 5 years, 3 of those in new "luxury" buildings. No apartment building I've lived in or toured has AC in-unit, though newer buildings will have it in common areas only. Further, many places have leases that disallow window-mounted AC units (not that the awning windows would cooperate). It's rough, esp. with windows on only one side for most apartments. I'd imagine developer incentives + LEED certifications are going to maintain the status quo.
