I think one reason there might be a larger population of wessen in Portland than is normal could be because there is something about Portland that appeals to them. There is a higher percentage of liberals in California than Nebraska, which has a higher percentage of conservatives, for example. Maybe the weather is more suited to them, maybe the nearby forests give them more a chance to roam free. One Blutbad moved there and passed the word around about how good it was. In the show Portland is shown as a place where weird is more acceptable than say Butte. Once the wessen learned there was a good Grimm in town old habits started to change--the hippo lady in Seven Year Itch knew there was a Grimm, and he didn't have to be feared. By controlling the bad wessen the good wessen lived in less fear than before--Bud's group, for example. A world without Grimms would mean that the good wessen would always fear the bad ones, with a good Grimm in town the good ones had someone they could call on.
