What it usually is
A dead outlet is often a tripped GFCI elsewhere on the circuit, a tripped breaker or a worn-out outlet. Several dead outlets in a row point to the circuit, not the outlet.
What to do first
Press the reset button on nearby GFCI outlets and check the panel for a tripped breaker. If an outlet is hot, sparks or smells burnt, stop using it.

Gig Harbor is a waterfront city across the Narrows from Tacoma with a mix of older harbor-area homes and many newer neighborhoods. Homes near the water can see more corrosion on exposed fittings, and we point it out when we see it.
