I don't believe gfci is needed unless you are within 6' of the sink

If the laundry is in a bathroom then that changes things. I did check the 2011 - no gfci needed.

So you are in Rural Nevada or Washington DC then? Those are the only places still on the 2011 NEC that I am aware of.

I makes a big difference because that particular rule has changed.
