Commerce Street/South 11th Street is a light rail station on Tacoma Link in Tacoma, Washington, United States. The station officially opened for service on September 15, 2011 as an infill station,[1] and is located one block south of the Commerce Street transit mall, served by Sound Transit Express, Pierce Transit and Intercity Transit buses. It was proposed by the City of Tacoma in 2010 and approved by the Sound Transit Board in September 2010. The station was officially named "Commerce Street" by a Sound Transit Board motion passed on July 28, 2011.[2]

After Tacoma Link's extension to the Hilltop area is completed in 2022, the station will be renamed to Theater District, replacing the current station at South 9th Street. The name change was requested by the City of Tacoma and members of the community.[3]
