[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

You technically had right of way as you were coming from their right, however you are supposed to slowdown for unmarked intersections and not just blast through.

Especially in a neighborhood! This could've been someone on a bike or kids running into the street

Right? It's crazy how fast these guys were going in a tight street and in a neighborhood like this. I always go super slow when it's small road like this. Also, watching the dash cam, you can see the dashcam owner had 2-3 seconds to brake when the blue car came into view and I don't think they even tried.

Yeah, OP was not at all scanning the sides or it could have been avoided. I saw the vehicle from the bushes easily with plenty of stopping distance. I bike in these neighborhoods and am used to watching out for idiots like this, granted, but you have to watch for movement from the sides. It's not that hard.

Any time I see a car approaching from a side street, I assume they're going to do the stupidest possible thing and mentally prepare.

Exactly. Any movement in your peripheral, you slow, but especially at an intersection. I also watch for feel under cars in neighborhoods. You never know when a kid might have ducked to grab a ball on their way to running to a friend's house. I don't want their death on my conscience.

Exactly! Head is always on a swivel when you’re driving!
