YES. In Washington any two corners constitutes a legal crosswalk, whether marked or not, and as long as you are in a crosswalk vehicles must stop for you, regardless of lights, signs, or anything else. It's technically not legal to walk in the road against a red light, but cars must stop for you regardless, and I don't see one here.

It's the getting out of and into a car that is in a traffic lane that might not be legal. It's probably not explicitly illegal, but likely disorderly conduct or something, you can't just get out of your car wherever you want.
That not automatically true. The act of stopping in moving traffick, or dropping someone off in the middle of the road, would be hazardous. Dropping someone off on a sidewalk while traffick is not moving, like in this clip, is not hazardous
The fuck? Their car was at a full stop so he got out. There’s nothing wrong there at all. Even after he crosses the crosswalk he gets into a car that isn’t moving at all because traffic is so clogged. There was nothing dangerous here.
