How to fix moisture damage on a deck to extend its lifespan?

[NightHollow]

My deck is starting to look rough with some obvious moisture damage on a few boards, plus some squishy spots near the stairs that worry me. I love hanging out there with family in the summer, so really want it to last a few more years if possible. Not sure if I need to replace whole boards or if there’s tricks to repair and prevent more damage. Anyone been through this? I’m not super handy, so plain-English advice or step-by-step tips would be a life saver! Trying to avoid spending a fortune if I can help it.

Keep an eye on those squishy areas - they might need more attention. I found using some tips from deck repair Tacoma folks pretty handy for keeping my deck in shape without breaking the bank.
