I lived in Puyallup for nearly 20 years. It got hot a couple of times....once 95, and I believe the all time record of 102 circa 2000.
NOBODY up there owns AC. It's not needed.
Even on "hot" days you can open the windows at sundown and a 60deg breeze will blow through.
We don’t own AC. Have lived here for 24 years (Puyallup area) and normally I would agree with the window open at sundown thing, but that’s not been happening all that much this year. It was much cooler last night, tho, which was great for sleeping! Seriously concerned about the dryness. Hubby and I were sitting outside yesterday, talking about it, and I pointed out the number of cedar trees we have surrounding our property that would go up like torches! They are ALL droopy/dry. Our huge maple tree dropped a limb while we were out there (just a small one...about 6 feet long) but it was TOTALLY dried up, leaves, helicopter seeds and all. August is going to be fun. Not.
