Cascades: Friday leads Halloween in Booked Occupancy (Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026)

Cascades short-term rentals for Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026: Friday has higher citywide Booked Occupancy than Halloween Saturday. See where to focus your review.

Updated October 26, 2026

Halloween gives Saturday an obvious calendar hook in Cascades, Washington. But for Hosts & Operators reviewing Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026, Friday deserves attention before assuming the holiday itself is the week's focal night.

Friday has higher citywide Booked Occupancy than Halloween Saturday in Cascades. For stays October 26, 2026–November 1, 2026, Wheelhouse data as of October 23, 2026 shows Friday, October 30, 2026, at 15.2% Booked Occupancy versus 14.8% on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Friday also has the week's highest Booked Occupancy.

Wheelhouse data shows that Friday leads the week in both Booked Occupancy and Asking Rate, ahead of Halloween Saturday.

Halloween Saturday sits just behind Friday

Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026, according to the Library of Congress. Yet the citywide observation puts Friday ahead—not only in Booked Occupancy, but also in Asking Rate: $449 on Friday, Oct 30, versus $448 on Saturday, Oct 31.

The modest differences matter more as a check on the calendar story than as a reason to separate the nights sharply. Halloween is the named occasion, while Friday holds the highest readings. The weekday itself could explain the difference; Saturday also has more time remaining until arrival than Friday. The holiday calendar alone therefore gives no reason to put Saturday ahead of Friday in an operating review.

Does Friday also stand out for your properties?

The practical question is whether Friday's citywide lead matches your own properties, or whether Saturday stands out against its usual pattern. A holiday can be prominent on the calendar without being the strongest night in this dated market view.

Use Wheelhouse Performance Analytics to review your bookings for Friday, Oct 30, and Saturday, Oct 31: compare Friday with past Fridays and Saturday with past Saturdays, checked the same number of days before arrival with the same nights open for booking. If Saturday stands above its own history while Friday does not, shift your attention to Saturday; otherwise, keep Friday as the starting point for this week's review.

Methodology and source

Oct 2025 stays · Retrieved Oct 26, 2026

Wheelhouse Market Report lead-time distribution for the same stay month a year earlier, after all of its stays were complete. Each listing contributes its average booking lead time: a bar is the share of listings whose average falls in that day range, and the line is the share at or below it. It describes listings, not individual reservations, and is last year’s pattern rather than this year’s bookings or a forecast.
