Way more racially diverse than the get
Seattle homeless demographics
At least a third are Native American in heritage
1: Gnawers kinfolk likely live in larger groups that make them less desirable to feed from. Loners and junkies are really what vampires are after.
2: the Awareness talent is pretty good for getting the splats to subconsciously avoid one-another. Yes, not everyone has it, especially among younger neonates, but it remains a big factor.
3: Vampires aren't that adventurous and usually feed in places they're familiar with and can control. Older vampires know what territory to avoid, and aren't likely to give it to their childer.
4: Since most vampires usually don't do much damage when they feed, it's probably better to let things slide than escalate and cause a big issue. Remember, Garou can win battles, but they'll lose wars against vampires, who can replenish at a lightning rate.
5: City Caerns are usually weak and despite being the biggest tribe, there aren't many gnawers and only some of them live within cities. It's a slight bias, but Gnawer Caerns are in Wyld bits of the city, Vampires tend to hang out where it's nice and wyrmy.
The park is known for its cultural center it's Lighthouse and its port. Which means the cept is equal parts defense, diplomacy and reconnaissance. The pack spread all over the city always migrating and looking for signs of the worm. Ever Vigilant Guardians
What are their relationships with the vampires? Especially the Nosferatu
1) The Gnawers don't actually care that much about vampires feeding off of humans. Gnawers are the bottom of the social order. Everyone shits on their people. Losing a bit of blood to a vampire is nothing compared to governments that make their lives a crime to fine them money they don't have, to give them criminal records they can never escape from so they can never get jobs, and then tear down whatever they can do to call something shelter. Essentially, unless a vampire is particularly reckless in thinking that poor people can be drained dry and nobody will care (which is bad practice even by vampire standards), the Gnawers aren't going to step in. Vampires are just one more drug, one more organized crime outfit, etc. in their view of the world. The few vampires that act bad enough that the Gnawers step in and do something about are going to get viewed by most vampires as hunter magnets anyway. A Gnawer kill is going to be less of a splatter fest because they can't get away with that sort of thing like their rural counterparts can, and more like a hunters going after a murder-happy vampire.
2) Gnawers and their kin are not homeless. While the homeless are part of what the Gnawers see are their purview, most Gnawers and most Gnawer kin are working poor. They have shitty apartments that are shared by three times the occupancy limited by people working crap wages, but they have roofs, beds, kitchens, and food most days. Gnawers can do a lot to make sure their kin's meager budgets stretch just far enough when money gets tight.
3) Most vampires avoid feeding on the poor. Vampires don't get sick, but they can spread disease and the poor and homeless have higher rates of diseases because they have less access to health care. Vampires can also end up on drug trips they're not expecting because they can experience drugs that their prey has consumed; and poor people are more likely to turn to drugs to cope with the stress of being poor. Feeding on the poor is seen as risky and low-class behavior by most vampires, and "low-class" vampires (at least ones on Humanity) tend to know those people don't need even more shit when there are juicy middle and upper class people to eat. Your average Nosferatu or Gangrel is more likey to just eat animals or use their Disciplines to hunt high class prey if only to not punch down on the poor more than society already does.
Does that explain how vampires are completely blind to the Gnawers (and the Children of Gaia, and the Glass Walkers, and etc.) werewolves that are right under their noses? Nope. But it explains why conflict there is more rare than it might seem and how vampires at least can easily not chalk up any single incident to the Garou.
Out of all the werewolves this Karen is the most likely to know of any demon activity in the city
