Best way would be remove the “T” that feeds the hookup and replace with a straight coupling.
I agree with Chris, this is the best method.
Another consideration is to install a simple cutoff valve at the "T" so restoring the system would be easy. The next owner or even yourself might be appreciative of having the plumbing in place when they next need it.
This is the winning solution. Simply remove the "T" and insert the same type valve you have in the low point drains. That will keep water and antifreeze out of the washer line, but allow it to be functional again with the turn of a valve.
Yes, if you just plug it at the washer, there's still going to be water in the line. If the line is capped, how are you going to get antifreeze or air through it to winterize it??? If you don't, you'll have plain water in it which will freezer and break. You need to eliminate the line or stop water from getting into it.
