It 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 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 is planned to be relocated as part of the Hilltop Extension.[5] Following the completion of the extension in 2023, Commerce Street will be renamed to Theater District, replacing the South 9th Street station. The name change was requested by the City of Tacoma and members of the community.[6]
