Narrative:

We landed on runway 34L at seattle/tacoma international airport without a landing clearance from tower. We were cleared for the visual approach from seattle approach control and never told to contact tower. The captain was the PF. We realized we did not get a clearance from tower when we cleared runway 34L, were holding short of the parallel runway 34R and tried to make contact with the tower. Upon making contact with tower, we were cleared to cross the parallel runway and told to contact ground control. We contacted ground and proceeded to our parking spot. No request was made by ATC to contact them regarding this incident.
