WHITEFISH - Whitefish has hired a Seattle consulting firm to find a new city manager. The current city manager, Gary Marks, has accepted a job as city administrator in Ketchum, Idaho. He works his last day in Whitefish on Aug. 5.

The city has hired Prothman Co. of Seattle to conduct the search for his successor. Prothman helps local governments in the Pacific Northwest find qualified permanent and interim employees.

Among its other current searches in Montana is the chief building official job for the city of Bozeman. Whitefish will hire an interim manager while Prothman searches for a permanent replacement for Marks.

The 44-year-old Marks had a nine-year run as manager of Whitefish during some of the resort town's biggest growth years.
