Tanglewood Island
Tanglewood Island is a small island in Hale Passage off the northern shore of Fox Island in Pierce County, Washington.
The island was a summer home of Conrad L. Hoska (1856–1910), a prominent figure in the nearby city of Tacoma.〔 A section devoted to Hoska's biography.〕 From 1945 it hosted a boys' camp, and in the following year the lighthouse structure (''pictured'') was completed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Richards Studio Collection Series: A51432-1 and A51432-2 ) Descriptions of images of the island from the 1950s. Search for "Tanglewood Island" (TPL-8495, TPL-9190).〕
The Geographic Names Information System lists several alternative names: Ellens Isle, Grant Island, Grave Island, and Hoska Island.〔 The name Tanglewood was inspired by the heavy undergrowth and Nathaniel Hawthorne's ''Tanglewood Tales''. It was chosen as the official name of the island by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in 1947.〔
In the 2010 United States Census, the island was included as part of the Fox Island census-designated place. The census block encompassing just Tanglewood Island showed a population of 8 with 5 housing units.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=G001 - Geographic Identifiers - Block 1002, Block Group 1, Census Tract 724.10, Pierce County, Washington )〕
