your drains are probably on the same waste line. by upc code your waste line should tie into your main sewer line 6 feet from any horizontal to vertical change in direction. this is due to the fact that the sudds from your washer can actually go up your drain line. It is possible you have a non functioning vent. The heavy flow of water into the wast line from the washer can be causing air to enter into the wast line from the kitchen waist line. Gurgle sounds come from the air pulling through a trap serving the kitchen sink. If you live in a very old house you may not have a vent at all or you may have a vent line run in steel pipe. Scale and rust can dislodge and fall down into the vent line and plug it up. An undersized vent or if in winter an iced up vent can cause the same problem. David A partial block in the mainline sewer can also cause this. Find your clean out and watch when your washer drains. If you see it backup at all, you've got to get it cleaned out.
