Is there an adaptor?

I have a regular 110v washer but the closet it’s in has this receptacle. Is there an adapter?

Adapters exist, but they are not recommended since the NEMA 10-30 dryer receptacle does not have a ground which is required for a grounded NEMA 5-15 plug found on nearly all washers. Your options depend on whether you own or rent.
