Marie Kjeldtoft points to a black scrawl on the concrete in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. "This is a new one, a brand new one," she said. "It looks horrible. Shame on them. I hate to say it, but I've come to expect it." Kjeldtoft doesn't take kindly to people who go around spray painting her city. But instead of complaining, the 84-year-old is doing something about it. "It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem," she said with a confident smile. Every week for the past three years Marie has grabbed her paint bucket and headed for the Ballard Bridge to paint over the graffiti that stains Seattle.  She makes mental notes of graffiti she sees in other parts of the city, as well, and returns with her roller to make it disappear. "It's just a good deed," she said.  As she paints over new tags in Ballard, Kjeldtoft says she's disappointed that people would choose to deface such a beautiful city.  "Why do they do it?" She wondered. "Don't kids have more to do? More purpose in life?" The City of Seattle provides Kjeldtoft with the paint and she finds inspiration as she slaps coats of gray paint on the sides of buildings and bridges. "It looks so pretty when it's done and it all blends in because it's the same color," she mused.
