Narrative:

We were on final to runway 28R at pdx descending through 1;200 MSL when we saw a blue quad-copter drone pass off the left side of the aircraft. We saw the drone just as it passed and did not have to maneuver to avoid. I would estimate that it was within a wingspan distance; so roughly 100 from us at the same altitude. As passengers were deplaning; multiple passengers commented that they had seen the drone and wondered if we had seen it also. One passenger familiar with the area said that it was near the ikea just east of pdx. I called pdx tower and discussed the incident with them. Later in the day I received a call from the portland police department asking questions about the incident as well.
