What is causing the vinyl on concrete floor on grade to rise up in places whenever you do laundry or when it rains a lot?

More than likely the adhesive bond has been lost allowing the vinyl to separate from the concrete substrate. The "Floor on Grade" and "Rains a Lot" comments may indicate that you you have vapor emissions coming up through the slab where they condense under the floor covering and the water is compromising the adhesive that was applied to hold the flooring product in place.
Not an uncommon occurrence in a slab on grade. A razor knife cut may actually reveal water under the covering. There are test that will give a relationship to pounds of water vapor per 100 Sq. ft. Anything over 3 pounds should not have had the vinyl installed.
The fix is to remove the vinyl and adhesive and waterproof the slab. A penetrating sealer will fill the capillary voids in the concrete and prevent moisture from passing through. I use one that has low VOC stuff you can use inside and there are no problems with a bond of a flooring product after you waterproof the slab.
