What it usually is
Pressure drops come from clogged aerators, partly closed valves, a failing pressure regulator or a hidden leak. One weak fixture points to that fixture; every fixture weak points to the supply.
What to do first
Check whether one fixture or all of them are weak, and unscrew the aerator on the faucet to look for grit.

Tacoma is a port city with older Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods, plus waterfront and industrial areas. Tacoma's older neighborhoods have homes from a long span of eras, so the first thing we look at is what pipe is actually behind the wall.
