I-705  Washington (link)

1.50 miles [1note]; serves Tacoma. Opened in 1990.

If you're not from the Emerald City, knowing that True Seattlites derogate Tacoma at every opportunity will add needed context to this 1998 Seattle Times story:

"TACOMA - Interstate 705 skirts the eastern edge of downtown, separating the decaying central business district from an equally dilapidated port and waterfront. Calling it an interstate inflates the freeway's importance. It is all tentacles reaching out every which way, appearing to search for some thriving commerce to justify its exit ramps." [2note]

I-705 is short enough to easily overlook. Witness the following misc.transport.road exchange (about states with no odd 2-digit interstates):
