This is how we spot Californians up here in Seattle. The Natives do NOT put a "the" in front of 405, I-5, etc. It's funny, because I don't use "the" when referring to those freeways up here, but when I go down to L.A. or am referring to the freeways - the SAME freeways - in L.A., I suddenly say "the 405."
