If You Smell Gas
A dryer exhaust system carries combustion gases including carbon monoxide out of the home, so HUD rates a detached, missing or blocked dryer exhaust as a life-threatening deficiency; a CO alarm in the laundry area is recommended with gas dryers.

If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.

Local Notes for Burlington
Most dryer calls in Burlington come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Washington's state plumber certification law defines plumbing as potable water, waste, medical gas and similar systems and does not list fuel gas piping, so gas line work is not part of the state plumber certificate. Source: Chapter 18.106 RCW, Plumbers
In Washington, you can check a license with the L&I Verify a Contractor, Tradesperson or Business or report a problem to the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection.
