The original role of grimms was that of overseer. Royalty, as early as ancient Rome, used wesen as soldiers and managed them with Grimms. After the seven grimm knights split from the royals, they apparently became roving bounty hunters, with the majority of their clients still nobility but lesser local ones, and the royals replaced grimms with hundjagers (the verrat).
The real buffer that stood between wesen and kehrseite was the Wesen Council, not grimms.
We discovered in S06 that a wesen was one of Portland's founders, so the combination of our "Keep Portland Weird" culture and our proximity to preserved wilderness as draws for wesen goes way back. Or maybe behind the scenes wesen influence is actually at the root of it...
