Divorce records for the time frame you mention are maintained by the clerk of the King County Superior Court.
Here is a link to their site that tells how you can order the record in person or by mail.

By mail is pricey. I do not live in Seattle so hopefully you can find someone willing to go to the Courthouse and look for you.
There is also a divorce index for the state but I can't recall if it covers the 1940s. It gives the date and jurisdiction and little more.
Happy hunting!
