Ummm, a lot! I have a laundry sink RIGHT next to my washer.
I suggest you read 210.8(A)(7).
In fact I'll post it for you:
210.8 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection for Personnel
(A) Dwelling Units All 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in the locations specified in (1) through (8) shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel.
(7) Laundry, utility, and wet bar sinks — where the receptacles are installed within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the outside edge of the sink
NO ifs ands buts OR exceptions. GFI protection IS required even if the receptacle is behind the washer or dryer.
