What it usually is
Typical causes are hair, soap scum or a failed stopper mechanism. Standing water in the tub when the sink also gurgles points to a deeper clog.
What to do first
Stop using the tub. Pull out the stopper and clear any hair you can reach. Avoid pouring chemicals into standing water.

Kent is a valley city with a mix of older neighborhoods, newer hillside developments and a big warehouse district. Kent has everything from mid-century homes on the valley floor to newer houses on the hill, so we look at the age of the plumbing before we guess at the cause.
