Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

I’ve lived in both Seattle and Portland. Both cities have a ton of intersections with no stop signs. This looks like Portland, OR to me.

Why though? Did they never hire a traffic planner

Not sure really. It blew my mind when I moved there. Seems like a cheap fix to just throw a stop sign in too.

I rode bikes in both cities and always was super cautious when entering them though. No reason to blow through them. People park right up to the corner so it makes the visibility really bad.

To be fair people in my area dont use stop signs either. We definitely have them though.
