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.[1][2] From 1945 it hosted a boys' camp, and in the following year the lighthouse structure (pictured) was completed.[3]

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.[4] 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.[5]
