Narrative:

Upon landing at seatac airport, I noticed we were still on approach frequency. Switching over to tower, they (tower) said we did not answer the last 6 calls. The captain and myself never heard approach switch us to tower and approach did clear us to land. Tower never said that we were not cleared to land.
