I don't think there is anything left to add.. you ladies have suggested everything I have used during the time I lived in both Illinois and California, and we face here in Washington - in fact I always wondered why a house with no AC would have a cool setting on the heater thermometer. THANKS
When I was a child up here, I remember my mom closing the curtains/drapes over the sun light sides of the house, and having the doors and windows open - then in the late 70's my dad built a basement and we spent a lot of warm days down there when we could not get outside to play.
If you have the funds for it, another suggestion would be to have tall plants / trees near the windows to help reduce the amount of sunlight that comes in through those windows - planted / hardy hanging baskets so as not to obstruct view.
