Here are more. Also I haven't bent the spring on the offending side (left brake). I also noticed the pad on the left sits way lower than the pad on the right and there is no ridge on the rim.

Left pad / problem side


Right pad, plenty of clearance


Right rear arm


Left rear arm (Note the kink near the caliper is from where I loosened the cable so the pad would stop sticking and I could make it back without the brake engaged.)


Right rear. Close up


Front cables


Photos are from the ipad mini, not sure why they are flipping sideways when I post.

I purchased this bike from Gregg's Alderwood and that's where I am taking it for the tuneup. It has very low miles (<200) and I am not heavy on brakes . They are hit and miss sometimes.

I also use Gerks in Redmond since it is right near work and the customer service there is great. I usually order specialty items from them since its easier for me to get there often times.

I think I answered all the questions.
