Typical summertime runs in the 80's. We do get some 90's to 100, but generally, only a few of weeks or so. We tend to run our A/C when it gets over 85, since the rooms where we have computers get warmer than the rest of the house. We've also run the fan by itself to good advantage when we're between 80 & 85. Ceiling and floor fans help, too. Where you are in town will also make a difference. Up on our hill, out here in the country, it is often 10 degrees cooler than downtown. Bottom line: bring the A/C, but expect to use it differently than in GA. BTW, welcome to the Northwest. I've been a tour guide, and currently volunteer at one of the state visitor information centers, so if you need any info on places to see, I'll be happy to advise. Feel free to contact me off list, since that will be way off topic. -- Regards, Dick Steffens http://home.comcast.net/~rsteff/
