Our Team

Kelli Refer (she/her)

Executive Director

Kelli’s love of transportation policy began when she first started biking for everyday transportation. She worked at Cascade Bicycle Club on their advocacy team for over 5 years. She had the privilege of working with Seattle City Council Member Mike O’Brien as a legislative aid. Since joining Move Redmond in 2020, she has built a successful advocacy program that focuses on better policy and more funding for walking, biking, and transit. Kelli loves getting outside, moving her body, and exploring the PNW. One of her favorite ways to do that is to go bike camping! If you want tips on bike camping with small children, just ask!
