We stay in the AC as much as possible. And bitch about it. Pretty much the same way Northerners treat winter, but in reverse. The bad thing about heat waves in the PNW is no A/C. The good thing is that even when it gets that hot, it usually still cools down quite a bit at night (tho I remember it still being damned unpleasant back in '04.)

I know my Oregon friends deal with heat waves by staying at work as long as possible, then going up to the mountains/waterfalls until it cools down a bit, then opening the windows and turning on the fans.

If I were you, I'd go ahead and buy a cheap window unit AC (like, for the bedroom.) So you only use it 1 week every other year. That just means it will last forever.

Remember global warming. Y'all may be getting these heat waves a lot more often in the future. The weathers screwy everywhere.
