Why do Seattle drivers not know what a crosswalk is

It feels like there is someone trying to run me over almost every day. I don’t own a car and bus/walk most places. Today there were multiple cars stuck blocking the intersection/crosswalk in front of the Northgate Target. Fine, whatever, I’ll walk around your car because the crosswalk sign has turned and you can’t go anywhere.

This man has the gall to pull forward to try to HIT ME when I walk in front of him. Mind you, there is a car immediately in front of him, also stopped in the intersection. I am simply walking between the gap between the two cars. And then he flips ME off??

Sorry this is mostly a rant post. I’m not a baby deer jumping out into the middle of the street type pedestrian either, I look both ways, make eye contact, yield to cars even when I technically have the right of way. Clearly for good reason too. I haven’t been hit yet but it just feels like a matter of time.
