As someone who grew up in the Seattle area, i remember not having air conditioning and how miserable it was (briefly) each summer. I've since moved somewhere much hotter (Richland), but since everywhere is air conditioned, I actually prefer it!
- WalterBright 12y agoI've lived in Seattle for 35 years. An awful lot depends on how the house was built. I used to live in a house that was poorly designed, and it would heat up like a greenhouse. The house was so uncomfortable when I finally moved and had one built, I spent a lot of time with the design so that it passively cools itself. It'll stay at least 10 degrees cooler than outside with no power applied. It really isn't that hard, but it's clear to me looking at typical houses around here that nobody even thinks about it when building.
