That's awesome. Really. I love it. But definitely a semantic stretch - I'd hate to rest my argument on it.

Doesn't seem like a stretch to me.

At least one recep, at least 20 amp. Where's the stretch?

An old guy I used to work with said the requirement even pre-dated the electric washer - I think we also talked about that here before... The requirement and the invention of the electric motorized washer kind of coincide - but if I remember right - electric washers were not a common item when the requirement was added.

I find it back at least to 1937: "shall be installed adjacent to each permanently installed laundry tub or set of such tubs" [2110].
