Walmart and Alphabet’s Wing plan to begin drone deliveries in the Denver and Seattle metro areas in 2027, expanding a network that currently operates in five U.S. metros and is slated to reach 19. The companies aim to serve more than 40 million customers through over 270 Walmart stores; Wing says its aircraft can fly up to 60 mph and carry packages weighing up to five pounds. The Denver plans are emerging as some Colorado communities consider rules for commercial drone delivery hubs, amid broader questions about how quickly announced markets will become operational.

Portland City Council has begun the process of considering a temporary pause on new facilities supporting commercial drone operations, giving officials time to develop clearer rules; the vote does not impose a moratorium. The move follows neighborhood concerns about noise, privacy and other impacts from Amazon’s proposed North Portland drone hub, whose planned pre-application meeting the company canceled without rescheduling.
