Firstly, respect to my fellow Washingtonians! Ya’ll NAILED the diagnosis of my electrical issue! Everyone of you got it right!

Since several individuals kept mentioning this “GFCI” term, I found the home inspection report (that I never bothered to read) and found this little red warning on page 3:

WARNING: Significant / Safety Concerns

>Your GFCI outlets in one or more areas are missing. GFCI protection is required in areas containing a water source or which may be exposed to moisture.
>
>Common locations GFCI protection should be found for safety are, kitchen, all bathrooms, laundry room, exterior, garage and basement.
>
>>!Recommendation: Contact a qualified electrical contractor.!<

Case closed.
