I live in Washington and my husband is in Minnesota, should we file separately?

I moved to Washington state from Minnesota for a new job June 2017 where I now live and pay rent. My husband lives in Minnesota and we own a house together there. This move is not short-term, it will be at least two years. However, I received income and payed taxes for the first quarter of 2017 from Minnesota. Should my husband and I just file separately for both federal and state taxes so I can file as a nonresident in Minnesota? Washington state does not have income tax and I don't want to pay Minnesota state income tax when I am not living there.
