San Juan Islands: Sunday has the lowest Booked Occupancy (Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026)

Halloween does not end the event calendar in the San Juan Islands, Washington. A Sunday festival in Eastsound extends the week's programming beyond Saturday, making the final night worth attention when reviewing the short-term rental outlook for Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026.

Sunday has the lowest citywide Booked Occupancy in San Juan Islands for October 26, 2026–November 1, 2026. Wheelhouse data as of October 26, 2026 shows Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 9.5% Booked Occupancy, versus 13.4% on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Sunday also has more time remaining until arrival than Saturday.

Wheelhouse data shows Friday leads the week in both Booked Occupancy and Asking Rate, while Sunday is lowest on both measures.

Sunday, Nov 1, has an Asking Rate of $342, compared with $369 on Saturday, Oct 31. The final night therefore stands apart on both measures, rather than pairing lower Booked Occupancy with the week's highest Asking Rate.

Friday, Oct 30, provides the other end of the picture: its 14.3% Booked Occupancy and $375 Asking Rate are the week's highest. Halloween Saturday sits between Friday and Sunday on both measures. For this dated market view, the leading night comes before Halloween—not on the holiday itself.

Odd Fellows Hall lists its Halloween Dance featuring The Studs in Eastsound on October 31, 2026. The following day, November 1, 2026, the Dia de los Muertos Procession and Festival is scheduled at Eastsound Village Green on Orcas Island. Both fall within the analyzed stay window, October 26, 2026–November 1, 2026.

That Sunday event is a concrete reason to keep the final date in the week's planning conversation, rather than ending the calendar review at Halloween. Its scheduled presence alone does not explain the citywide Booked Occupancy comparison. The weekday itself could explain the difference; the way to assess Sunday's relevance to your property is to compare it with past Sundays, not with Saturday's holiday program.

Use Wheelhouse Performance Analytics to examine your bookings for Sunday, Nov 1, against past Sundays checked the same number of days before arrival, with the same nights open for booking. If Sunday resembles those past Sundays, keep your attention on the Friday–Saturday contrast; if it is less booked than those matched Sundays, shift the focus to Sunday's availability and Asking Rate. That check turns an event-filled calendar into a property-specific question without assuming every programmed day needs the same response.
