Quit claim deed. Buy at stationary store or download in Word 6.0 at ftp://www.wa.gov/courts/word60/lpo/x-12i.doc
Consideration is "divorce decree".
You'll have to have her signature notarized.
Also, go to county Treasurer's office and get exise tax affidavit. You have to fill it out but will be exempt from tax.
Then record the deed at the county Auditor's office.
