A station at South 11th Street was proposed by the City of Tacoma in 2010 and approved by the Sound Transit Board in September 2010.[3] The station was officially named "Commerce Street" by a Sound Transit Board motion passed on July 28, 2011.[4] Construction began in April 2010 and cost approximately $350,000.[5] The station was built with 40-foot (12 m) platforms, approximately half the length of other Tacoma Link stations.[1]
On October 11, 2022, Commerce Street became the northern terminus of Line T following the closure of Theater District/South 9th Street station, which was relocated as part of the Hilltop Extension.[6] Following the completion of the extension on September 16, 2023, Commerce Street was renamed to Theater District; its name was previously used by the South 9th Street station, which was renamed to Old City Hall station after it was moved a block north.[7] The name change was requested by the City of Tacoma and members of the community.[8]
