Mistie Hammer, Senior Ecosystem Specialist

Mistie Hammer is a Senior Ecosystem Specialist who supports the environmental permitting and construction of Sound Transit’s light rail
projects. This includes East Link, which she’s been working on since 2016 and is excited to commute on someday. An
Issaquah native, Mistie realized her interest in fish after volunteering at the local salmon hatchery and despite the horrible
smell that returning spawning salmon bring, it led her to her degree in Aquatic and Fishery Science from the UW. Prior to
joining Sound Transit, Mistie spent 10 years at King County working on local salmon recovery and supporting large
transportation projects, followed by eight years at an engineering consulting firm in Bellevue - HDR Inc.

Ryan Lescouflair, Senior Engagement Specialist

Ryan is the Senior Engagement Specialist working on the East Link project, where he manages relationships with Bellevue
neighborhoods and businesses during the construction of light rail through the city. He has a bachelor’s degree in Business
Administration from the University of Scranton. Ryan comes from a family of engineers, so was interested in infrastructure
from an early age, but found that community outreach was a better match for him than engineering. His favorite part of his
job is when he can find a win for homeowners or ‘the little guy’ during challenges that arise from construction.

Jon Lebo, Deputy Project Director

Jon Lebo is the Deputy Project Director for the Sound Transit East Link Extension project. The East Link Extension project is a $3.7
billion, 10 station, 14.6-mile light rail expansion from the Seattle International District Station to the Microsoft Campus in
Redmond. Jon has 33+ years in design and construction management, the past 4 years at Sound Transit. Previously, he
was a Director, Capital Projects at the University of Washington, where he led the 10-year $850 million, 13-building, 6,000
bed replacement program from the residential housing system. His 29-year’s work at the UW included, medical, teaching,
laboratory, office, recreational, and infrastructure projects. Jon is an architect with bachelor’s degree in Architectural
Studies and Building Construction from the UW. Jon is a Lake Forest Park council member. He enjoys hiking, gardening,
family time and playing with their Bernese Mountain dog.
