In the Seattle Area you apply to the Utility Company and enter into their apprenticeship program. Once you are in the program you will attend classes and receive on-the-job training.
You can go onto the internet and search. Enter the name of your local utility companies and add the following: "your utility company" become a lineman. Or call the company and ask them.

Hello,
To be honest I am not quit sure about this position. You should do your research. But I would say in a blue collar job people usually learn there trade from someone try and find a power lineman and ask if he/she can be your mentor or shadow them. That’s the best advice I got for you. Best of luck!

Dear Jordan,
Attending school can be tough, but it's a valuable tool for gaining practical knowledge. If you simply follow others' desires, you might not see the need for school. However, this approach could lead to drawbacks like earning a lower income.
Consider this: what if you went to school to study electricity? You could learn to draw electrical lines, design electrical networks, and calculate power requirements, among other things. At the same time, you could gain hands-on experience by installing electrical lines.
Would this be a suitable path for you, gaining both theoretical and practical knowledge?
I hope you make the decision that's best for you!
Warm regards,
Gabriela
