The new Tacoma Link station at South 11th and Commerce streets marks the sixth stop on the 1.6-mile line that serves as a major connector in downtown Tacoma. Downtown On the Go will host a dedication ceremony at the new stop at 2 p.m. on Thurs., Sept. 29 to celebrate the opening. For more information about the event, visit http://www.downtownonthego.com .
