you need a plummer, but I'm too far away.
Like I said, tight fit. Can't get your hand on it. No slack in pvc water line.
Brown stuff in tray is from liquid wrench stuff. Hose connector (black) still stuck and can't get loose.

You might be able to get it with a basin wrench and a pipe wrench. If you can get the basin wrench on the washer hose fitting,and the pipe wrench on the shaft of the basin wrench,you can generate a lot of force.If that does not break it loose...then you may have to take off that paneling and re-plumb from the pipe below the washer box up to a new hose bib fitting. You can buy a cheap basin wrench and cheap 12" pipe wrench if you don't have one. Sometimes if that washer hose was seeping a little it will corrode that hose fitting on there something terrible....thats when you just have to change that hose bib. If you got a helpful hardware man they can help you through it. Lot of new type fittings out there now makes plumbing pretty easy for novices. Them washer boxes are a pain. I always just as soon have my hose bibs screwed on the wall in the open. Shut the water off just incase you break something below the bib when your a twisting on it. If you do just have to re-pipe it anyway.

If you can reach it with some Chanel locks or vice grips you should be able to get it loose but you have to grip it on the outer edge to get it to turn when you close down on any other part of it you are squeezing the threads on the hose down into the threads that's on your cut off that's why it's not turning . Hope that makes since to ya

plumbers wrench which is used to handle the nuts on the back side of a sink. It should work on your problem. EB

here is a link to what doggone is referring to: Shop BrassCraft 11-in Basin Wrench at Lowes.com
this shows what you need and how it is used.
First thing I would do is disconnect everything else and get it out of your way so you can get in there and work without being in a bind.
Two pair of channel-loc pliers, one pair on the valve body and one pair on the hose connector, hold the valve body tight so as not to twist it off, the channel-loc pliers on the hose connection will need to be held tight enough to grip the connector but not so tight as to pinch. Before you start to seriously get after it, you can selectively pinch the hose connector several times in different areas around the circumference to break the rust free and allow the connector to spin off.
I would turn the water off to your house before you try this, just in case.
This is how I would do it, good luck, wish I lived closer.
I have to disagree with the comments to use a basin wrench, places the hands to far apart and you will not get enough one handed leverage on the basin wrench to break it free.
Also disagree with the comments on the vise-grips, you cannot sufficiently control the power of the grip.
