Re: washer circuit
If the washer is within 6' of a sink it must have a GFCI per 210.8(A)(7) - there are no exceptions. If the washer is in an uninished basement and not within 6' of a sink it does not need a GFCI per 210.8(A)(5) ex.2.

Re: washer circuit
Are we both using the same 02 nec ? Mine says
210.8a7
Wet bar sinks- where the receptacles are installed to SERVE THE COUNTERTOP SURFACES and are located within 1.8m (6 ft) of the outside edge of the wet bar sink.
This outlet serves the washer not not wet bar sink.No gfci needed

Re: washer circuit
In the 2005 it has been changed and it now applies to all outlets within 6' of the sink regardless of what they serve.
That is a good point Jim and I agree with you if the OP is under the 2002 NEC

Re: washer circuit
