Portland certainly sees triple digits every couple years (if not more frequently than that), but never for sustained periods of time (i.e. only for 2-3 hours and for one or two consecutive days). It's about to see highs above 100 for four days, with 10-11 hours Sunday/Monday above 100, with the potential to hit 115-120.
If it gets down to 75 by 7 AM, your house without AC will be in the low 90s all night. For 3 days. This is going to kill a lot of people.
In Seattle, it's even more stark. We have hit 100+ exactly 3 times in recorded history. And the forecast is 106 on Sunday and 111 on Monday. And just 35% of households have AC.
I live in a 1907 house, without AC of course. It's hot!!
