Answer:
Any party who (1) is a resident of Washington, or (2) is a member of the armed forces and is stationed in Washington, or (3) is married to a party who is a resident of Washington or who is a member of the armed forces and is stationed in Washington may petition the Court for a decree of dissolution of marriage.
Washington is considered a "no-fault" state. This means the only general allegation that needs to be made is that there are "irreconcilable differences" between you and your spouse, Usually, no additional explanation is needed for the court.
