That's not historically normal but with global warming it's getting hotter for longer in the NW. Avoid July and August. VERY hot and not everywhere has A/C since it hasn't historically been unbearably hot for weeks at a time.
Average high temp for August for Seattle: 76, Portland: 81.
I'd hardly call that VERY hot.
