Snohomish’s city manager was passed over for a job in the city of Shoreline, where he was one of three finalists for city manager.

Larry Bauman has been the Snohomish city manager since 2002 and said he applied for the new job because it’s closer to where he lives.

On Tuesday, Shoreline announced that it had selected an internal candidate, assistant city manager Julie Underwood, for the job. Bauman also had worked as Shoreline’s assistant city manager before being hired by Snohomish.
