California
Interstate 405 in southern California, part of the San Diego Freeway for its entire length, is a loop branch of Interstate 5. It splits off from I-5 in the northern San Fernando Valley, travels south through the Santa Monica Mountains, and generally mirrors the path of the Pacific coast thereafter (albeit 5-10 miles inland). It rejoins I-5 near the former El Toro Marine Corps airbase in central Orange County.
Detailed information on I-405, including cities through which it passes and freeways with which it intersects, can be found on the San Diego Freeway page.
Washington
Interstate 405 in Washington state is a 30-mile loop route that bypasses downtown Seattle east of Lake Washington. The northern terminus is in Lynnwood and the southern terminus is in Tukwila. The highway runs through what has since become the "Eastside" technology center of Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland, making it an often congested commuter path. I-405 is known for its high-speed meandering "s-curves" through Renton. It intersects with Interstate 90 and a number of major state routes. Its official name is "Renton Freeway".
