How can you get a divorce in Washington State from a spouse you have not been able to contact for years?
You can go file for divorce. The only requirement is that you attempt to serve copies of the filings to the last known address of your spouse. If your spouse never receives them, they will not appear in court, and you can get the judgment entered by default. You can do most or all of this without an attorney, or what is called "pro se" in legal terms. You can start with a search of the Washington state website for legal documents, and contact the court facilitator in your local county courthouse.
