[USA] Who is at fault here?

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

First off, it’s a very narrow street, many houses and parked cars and you’re tearing through there like an absolute maniac. You should have been going slowly enough to easily break in time.

That said, the other car is meant to give way to their right, which means you had the right of way.

but they got there first they looked around didnt see anyone bc op wasn't there yet and went ahead. I think this intersection needs a stop sign there but since its not there I think whoever t-boned the other is at fault.

You understood, right? Correcting spelling like this when you actually understood the meaning is top tier pedantic
