You likely should review your facts and options with an attorney.

The facts of your particular case are very important in determining the outcome of your case.

The WA family law statutes are at: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?Cite=26 .

In family law proceedings, the party without ready access to money may ask the court to order the other party who has ready access to money to advance money to the party without or with less ready access to money. You can check with your attorney to see if you would be entitled to ask the court to order your husband to pay some or all of your attorney's fees and costs.
