I am in WA state. My husband filed for divorce and then we changed our minds and he said he had his lawyer put a pause on the divorce.
Hi Anca! I understand your situation. In Washington State, you can file a motion to dismiss the divorce case if you both agree to stop the proceedings. Have you checked with your husband’s lawyer to confirm if the case has been officially paused or dismissed?
No. His lawyer said that I have to send an email to the county clerk to ask the following: I would like to strike the next hearing date.
Thank you!
Anca-Monica Atwood
It sounds like you need to send an email to the county clerk to request the cancellation of the next hearing date. Here's a template you can use:

I would like to request that the next hearing date be struck from the court calendar.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

What does it mean? That the divorce is paused?
Case Rating: *
When the hearing is struck, it means the scheduled court date has been removed. However, it doesn't necessarily mean the divorce is permanently paused. It may mean that proceedings are temporarily on hold. You might want to confirm with your husband’s lawyer whether any further steps are needed to formally pause or dismiss the case.

I looked up my case and it seems to be active. My husband said that his lawyer paused the divorce for one year, yesterday.

It sounds like there may be some confusion. Striking a hearing date doesn't typically pause the entire divorce case. It just removes that specific court date. You should confirm with your husband's lawyer if additional steps are needed to officially pause the case for a year.
