I currently do not have a car nor insurance.

If I buy a car, am I supposed to get insurance first and then the car, or a car first and then insurance? How does this work?

This is in Washington.

    You do it at approximately the same time. I would obtain the vin (vehicle identifcation number) of the vehicle you are considering, and do a little insurance shopping, either online, by phone or with an independent agent, before signing any papers. In WA, you can set up a policy very quickly and easily. and have it in place before you drive off the lot, which is required.
    I would shop first to get the best bargain (this can be time-consuming but worth it) then be ready to set it up when you sign papers on the car. You will need the vin to get an accurate price.

    Your car dealer won’t let you leave without having verified your insurance. Talk to an insurance agent before buying the car to get an estimate and take it from there.
