Theater District station is a light rail station on Link light rail's T Line in Tacoma, Washington, United States. The station was originally named Commerce Street/South 11th Street station and opened for service on September 15, 2011, as an infill station.[1] It is one block south of the Commerce Street transit mall, served by Sound Transit Express, Pierce Transit and Intercity Transit buses.
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.[2] The station was officially named "Commerce Street" by a Sound Transit Board motion passed on July 28, 2011.[3] Construction began in April 2010 and cost approximately $350,000.[4] The station was built with 40feet 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.[5] 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.[6] The name change was requested by the City of Tacoma and members of the community.[7]
