They are asking short- and medium-range domestic flights to bring in enough fuel to get out again. That way they can save available stocks for transcons and overseas flights.

Even so, they're expected to have troubles by Wednesday unless the pipeline is reopened... and there's no timetable for that. Incredibly, there is no way to truck fuel into Sea-Tac, according to the authorities in the local press today.
