The short answer
Housing in Woodinville runs to a median build year of 1987. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Woodinville
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
79% of occupied homes in Woodinville are owner-occupied, 19 points above the WA figure of 60%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

The first thing to establish in Woodinville is whether the problem is the house or one fixture, and it takes two minutes of walking around. Housing of this era can be copper throughout or copper with polybutylene in part, and the two fail differently enough that the pattern matters. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — test it. Whole house is a call; one tap usually is not.
