If your mom is retired and has no reason to stay where she is, why not move to WA? She could rent there if prices are still over-valued. Would she be willing to rent? Where is your sister going to live? Could your mom live with her there? It might be nice for the kids to have her as a neutralizing force in the divorce hell. I think grandparents can really help kids through the transition and later, as they grow up in the “divorce environment.”
Very sorry to hear about your sister and her family. Hope everything gets resolved in a way that everyone can be somewhat satisfied. Best of luck to your family!!!
