She serves on several statewide judicial committees, including family and juvenile law, ethics and guardianship and probate. Before joining the Skagit County Superior Court as a commissioner, Crandall regularly served as a pro tem judge in San Juan County District Court for two years while also working as a prosecutor in Skagit County.

Earlier in her career, Crandall spent five years in Portland at the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office. Prior to that, she clerked for Lane County Circuit Court Judge M.K. Merten in Eugene, Oregon. Crandall earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Washington and her law degree from the University of Oregon.
